Diamondbacks recalled RHP Addison Reed from Triple-A Reno.

Reed has posted a 1.74 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 10 1/3 innings since being demoted to Reno last month. He'll surely be used in low-leverage situations initially but could work his way into a setup role. Jul 29 - 8:27 AM

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Addison Reed to Triple-A Reno.

It's been a disaster of a season for Reed, who was demoted from his closer role over a month ago and hasn't pitched any better in lower-leverage situations. He holds a 5.92 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 25 relief appearances. Enrique Burgos has been activated from the disabled list to take his spot in the bullpen. Jun 22 - 4:08 PM

Addison Reed gave up four earned runs in less than an inning of work Saturday against the Padres.

Reed surrendered a walk, a double, two triples, and a Melvin Upton homer while recording only two outs in the brutal appearance. The 26-year-old right-hander now has a 5.92 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 24 1/3 innings this season. He's nothing more than a middle reliever now. Jun 21 - 12:54 AM

The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro reports that the Diamondbacks are moving closer to putting Addison Reed back into the closer's role.

Brad Ziegler is a better pitcher than Reed, but the Diamondbacks would still be better off with Ziegler in a setup role, since he can be better spotted against right-handed hitters then than he can as the ninth-inning guy. Reed doesn't have such significant platoon splits. May 30 - 3:37 PM

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for starter Zack Godley, who will make his major league debut on Thursday against the Brewers. Gosselin underwent surgery in mid-May to repair an avulsion fracture in his left thumb and remains sidelined indefinitely. He was acquired from the Braves in last month's Bronson Arroyo trade.

He was forced to leave Friday's game due to tightness in his hamstring, and it sounds as though manager Chip Hale wants to give him an extra day just to be safe. Cliff Pennington is starting in left field and will bat ninth for the D'Backs.

Chase Anderson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona League team on Sunday.

He's slated to throw four innings or 60 pitches in what could be his lone rehab outing. Out the last two weeks with right triceps inflammation, Anderson is expected to replace Zack Godley in the rotation when he returns.

Archie Bradley (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing from a mound in 9-10 days.

He's been throwing on flat ground for a while and is almost ready to take the next step. It will be a long progression to build Bradley back up after he gets back on a mound, so he's still a long ways away from a return. The young righty has been on the shelf since early June with right shoulder inflammation.
